How much is Enough? (Poll)

Indeed.

So what would you do, if you were unshackled from the need to work for money? Having done a tour of duty in the M&A dungeons of Wall Street, I've worked with people pulling down seven-figure salaries who are miserable wrecks - because instead of a means to an end, money became a way to keep score. In that perverse game, nobody is ever satisfied.

Roll call: How big a 'score' is enough? After you go on that big shopping spree to buy every expensive gew-gaw you've lusted after ... what would you do that you are not doing right now?

Alternatively, if you had a million dollars and a year to live, how would you spend it?
